In his one start against Arizona last season, Harang allowed one earned run and six hits with eight strikeouts over eight innings for a no-decision on July 8, won by the Reds, 4-3. This will be Harang's third consecutive Opening Day start.
Although they are coming off of their seventh straight losing season, new manager Dusty Baker has the Reds feeling good about their chances in 2008.
